The Women's International War Crimes
Tribunal held in Tokyo, Japan from December 8th to 12th, 2000, was a Peoples'
Tribunal set up to bring those responsible for Japan's military sexual
violence, in particular the enslavement of "comfort women," to
justice, and to end the ongoing cycle of impunity for wartime violence against
women.

A revolutionary tribunal representing
people from all across Asia, it was the first of its kind to break Japan's
post-war taboo by finding Emperor Hirohito guilty of war crimes during WWII.
